45,000 commercial flights a day in the U.S. 35 deaths in the last 10 years. Thats about 164 million flights.

~115 people dying by car daily, and those numbers have been rising every year...

If planes get their kill ratio up high enough people will stop caring and start saying it is expected/needed.

Clearly more plane crashes are the answer.

    how many car trips per day in the us? must be billions. deaths per mile* per traveler should be the metric, not number of trips.

    ps: safest method of transportation is the elevator.

    edit:*mile traveled

    Elevators don't travel any distance so if anyone is hurt by one they immediately lose by your metrics

    are you 100% sure that elevators don't travel any distance? or are we going to argue semantics over what distance is or isn't.
